SPORTY BUFFSerial 97668797 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Li, Wenbo
Class 028 -
Filed Nov 08, 2022
The record shows that “SPORTY BUFF” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on Feb 20, 2024 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Li Wenbo, an individual. The filing covered only Class 028 goods, specifically golf‑related items such as golf bags, ball markers, club covers, grips, heads, clubs, divot‑repair tools, gloves, irons, practice nets and putters; a similar name used for any of those golf products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over the words “sporty” or “buff” in other industries or for unrelated goods. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Feb 20, 2024, and the history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to brand golf equipment with a similar name.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
